- Michigan lawmakers proposed a bill to ban all forms of porn, including real, animated, digitally generated, written, or auditory depictions of sexual acts.
- The bill, named the 'Anticorruption of Public Morals Act,' includes provisions targeting transgender individuals by prohibiting material that depicts a disconnection between biology and gender.
- Internet service providers in Michigan would be required to use filters to block access to prohibited material.
- Violators could face up to 20 years in prison and/or a $100,000 fine, with penalties increasing for larger quantities of prohibited material.
- The bill's sponsors argue that the ban is designed to protect children and families from harmful content online.
- If passed, Michigan would be the first state to enact a total porn ban, as other states have only required age verification for accessing pornographic material.
- The bill has been referred to the Committee on Judiciary, but no meetings have been scheduled to review it.
